They’ll likely all go in the same hole.or darn close to it.
Limited Component Load Development

While I’m hopeful, the conditions are stacked against me. This is using FMJ bullets from the first upper I put together, using a barrel that isn’t free floated on a lower with a mil-spec trigger.
The trigger is at least polished (PSA EPT Trigger) and the Burris scope seems a worthy replacement for my well worn Nikon that suffered a bad fall.

Some days we just don’t get the best data but once we stare for awhile tendencies seem to appear, image if we had thrown away the target and claimed no joy.
Here’s three recent ladders that at first I didn’t shoot the overlap, I opted for a slightly lower charge and while yes it shot well the 31.0 charge just kept overlapping and calling me out. So with a 1000 yard match this coming weekend I’ve loaded 31.0 at .008 jam

Well that seems pretty clear, particularly the last one.
It shot the three FMJ test shots today at 100 yards.
First the bad news. I shot them with iron sights on a fairly windy day. It was blowing hard enough to wiggle my stand a little on the rifle range and was blowing stands over on the pistol range.
The good news is I did compare them to a known match load. It’s a load that shoots very well from my DMR and A4 uppers. The FMJ load was just a bit behind the control load in terms of group size. Point of impact was spot on windage wise between the two but the FMJ load shot higher. If that means it’s faster, then I met my goal. If not, I haven’t lost anything.
